Ingredients
- 3 lb. boneless pork loin
- 20 oz. can pineapple chunks in 100% pineapple juice
- 1/3 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- Optional: 1.5 tbsp arrowroot flour mixed with 2 tbsp water to thicken
Instructions
- Add the pineapple chunks (with juice), coconut aminos and minced garlic into the slow cooker
- Mix the spices together and then rub them into the pork loin. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and then sear the pork loin for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until each side has a nice crust formed
- Using tongs, transfer the pork loin into the slow cooker. Cover, and cook on low for 4-6 hours for a sliced pork loin, or 8 hours for shredded pork
- To thicken the sauce: Once the pork is done, remove from the slow cooker. Mix the arrowroot with the water to make a slurry and then pour into the slow cooker. Stir around well as the sauce thickens
- Slice or shred the pork, and add back into the slow cooker with the pineapple and sauce, or serve the pork with the sauce poured over it
Notes
- Tapioca flour can be used in place of arrowroot flour
